This is so good! My family loves this dish. You'll want to drink the sauce, it's that good!! I found this recipe on recipezaar and always made this in my high carb days, and realized that it's already low carb. Try it, you will love it.

Combine the seasonings and coat chicken breasts.
In large saute pan melt half of the butter and cook chicken over medium heat for about 7 to 8 minutes, turning once.
Pour the cream into the skillet and lower the heat.
Simmer for several minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens then add the remaining butter.
When butter is melted place chicken breasts on four plates and top with the sauce.

Linda, it depends on how thick the chicken is. I usually just leave it in the pan because I don't let the sauce reduce, I just let it get real warm because I like a lot of the yummy sauce. If your afraid of drying out the chicken you can always remove it then put it back in, it doesn't really matter. I love this recipe, not only is it easy but it has so much flavor with just a few ingredients.

Could you use Half and Half? It does sound really good! I might have to increase the chili powder since I like everything overly spicy

You could use half and half, it won't be as thick and rich but it would still be good...maybe just let it reduce more and it would be thick. You can add some cayenne pepper for spice too. I don't find it too spicy with the amount of chili powder in the recipe.

This makes good leftovers too.. my daughter just finished the leftover noddles and sauce from the other night...lol.

I guess I took my time posting on this, didn't see Carolyn's post above..lol

Thanks for the recipe. The picture is great too. If I didn't already have a fridge full of food to cook I'd go get some chicken today for dinner. What do you do for veggies? I was thinking peppers and onions would go good with this...or broccoli (you could pour the leftover sauce on the veggies?). I've gotten to the point where I can't look at a dish and not HAVE to see veggies with it LOL

I think snow peas, broccoli, green beans, sweet red bell pepper and mushrooms would go well with this. The sauce is so good I think anything would taste good with it...lol. I wanted to let people know that I have always used unsalted butter ( it's all I ever buy) for this, so I am not sure if this would be too salty with salted butter or not.

You are welcome, I am glad you enjoyed it!! This sure is the type of recipe that makes people think you worked really hard preparing, but is so easy. I love it as is, but you can also add some cayenne pepper to taste if you like a little heat.

Ok, I made it! It was very good. I only had 3 chicken breasts so I cut them in half (i'm always afraid of cooking huge pieces of chicken since they always end up pink inside)! So, I had 6 pieces of chicken and I added peppers and onions. The sauce came out really yummy and I was so glad I made extra so I could have leftovers. Then my husband came home and tasted it and liked it so he had some...there went my leftovers LOL Oh well, I guess I have to make more next time!

I made this a few nights ago and we had the leftovers last night which were just as yummy as the first time. Thank you so much for the recipe. I will definitely make this again....and again... and again!!!!

I'm so happy to see so many are trying this recipe and loving it as much as I do!! It makes my mouth water just reading about it..LOL. As others have said you might want to make extra because it does make awesome leftovers. Now I am making myself hungry!!
